The part where you feel the need to USE CAPITAL LETTERS REPEATEDLY to insist that what Lurk believes doesn't affect you in any way? Barry, you're just as, if not more, emotionally attached to your beliefs as/than anybody else. You're so attached to the idea that it's all a big mystery that will never be solved that you FREAK OUT when anybody questions your belief in it. And then you FREAK OUT again at the idea that you're trying to "sell" the belief. You're not only emotionally attached to your beliefs, you're emotionally attached to your belief that you aren't emotionally attached to your beliefs. Attachment to a belief is attachment to a belief, regardless of the content of the belief, even if the content is that you don't believe anything in particular, even if the content is that you aren't attached to the belief that you don't believe anything in particular.
